Research Conferences

Ophthalmic investigation continues to grow and thrive in every area of the Department of Ophthalmology, and conferences are one avenue for communicating the latest advancements in vision research. By joining together, faculty, trainees and leading experts worldwide have more opportunities to collaborate and innovate.

The SERIes Seminar is held weekly at the Schepens Eye Research Institute where Schepens and Mass. Eye and Ear faculty share their latest research advancements and breakthroughs. There is also time allocated for a Q & A session with the local scientific community.

This exciting seminar series uncovers current limitations in the treatment of corneal diseases and the translational research underway Department-wide that aims to overcome them. Presentations are given by a clinician scientist team based on topic. The target audience includes clinical fellows, postdocs, junior faculty, and medical students.

This series is organized jointly by the Ocular Regenerative Medicine Institute and the Ocular Genomics Institute, and addresses topics in genetics, gene therapy and regenerative medicine relevant to ophthalmology and beyond. The seminars feature a scholar of international reputation for a one hour presentation following an introduction by the faculty host. On occasion, the organization may schedule a Late Breaking Seminar session to highlight recent publications and innovations in the field.

This course strives for an understanding of the molecular bases for diseases that target the eye. The goals of the course are: (I) to explore the structural and functional aspects of the eye relevant to understanding the pathology, (II) to review the manifestations of the disease and its effects on vision, (III) to discuss current views and research in the pathophysiology, and strategies for therapeutic intervention. For most sessions, the basic science and clinical topics will be presented by two faculty lecturers.

Meet a Specialist

Dr. Song remembers quite clearly the day he decided to become an ophthalmologist. He was a medical student at the New York University School of Medicine, completing his ophthalmology rotation, when he witnessed the life-changing impact that a corneal transplant had for a patient with severe keratoconus.
